This seems off-topic for the Maven list?
Perhaps not. I like the fact that STS comes bundled with Maven
2.2.1 and m2e. If you're a Maven developer then this is a good IDE bundle.
I personally don't particularly mind the occasional Maven-related
announcement like this, and believe there are a number of Maven
users/developers who are using STS and appreciate it. I actually just
pulled STS down for another machine just last week and got the old
version, so this will cause me to go update several installs.
Perhaps next time it should be tagged [OT] or even [ANN] in the
subject to avoid any complaints?
I will do this if I have any news of this nature.
I do feel that the ecosystem around Maven such as Nexus and Eclipse/STS are
very helpful in improving the role that Maven plays in development.
I do not have any vested interest or participation in either of these projects
but I really encourage developers who are using Maven to get a Repo going. I
only know Nexus but I know that others here do use other repo packages.
I used plain Eclipse for a couple of years before finding the STS version and
the integration of the Maven and all the other Java and Web tools into a single
download has been a great relief for our team. The Maven tools in Eclipse/STS
have really helped us understand and use Maven better.
Sharing something like you just said, with the context of why you find it is
helpful for Maven users, is totally appropriate. I post semi-OT stuff here all
the time. I just couldn't make the connection from your brief email - and if we
start talking about anything tangentially related to Maven, we could easily end
up with threads about anything Java related :)
I agree and I should have marked it as off-topic. I did not want to
make the post too long in case it seemed like a pitch.
I do mention STS fairly often when people are having trouble with
integration of Eclipse and Maven so I thought that most regular visitors
were aware of what it is but I could have added a word or two about the
Maven integration.
Cheers,
Brett
